Prouille School : Rules & Guidelines

Lost Property is located in the cane basket outside the Kindergarten Classroom.
Children are responsible for their own articles of clothing.
At the end of each term, school apparel without names will be handed into the Second Hand Uniform Shop.
Non uniform, unclaimed items are donated to the St Vincent de Paul Society.

Road Rules

School driveways/parking are for Staff and emergency vehicles only.
The Speed Limit in Water Street is 40 kph.
For safety reasons, it is requested that all traffic only drive one way – south to north along Water Street – and exit into Cleveland Street.
Any traffic entering from the north, and exiting to the north, should drive past the school down to the southern end of Water Street to perform a U turn.
U turns should be carried out legally.

Parking Restrictions

Please do not park in, or across, our neighbours' driveways.
No vehicles are to double park and/or block the street.
Obey the No Stopping and No Parking signs.
The No Parking area in front of the school is a Kiss and Drop zone – where children are dropped off and picked up safely and quickly. Drivers are requested to stay in their cars and move off quickly, when children have safely entered the school grounds. This is NOT a parking area for cars.
If the zone is full, please be patient and wait further down the street, or park legally and walk.
Park your car legally if you wish to accompany your child/ren into the school.

Fines

These areas are patrolled by inspectors from Ku-ring-gai Council and fines are mailed to offenders.

Safety is Paramount

Do not call your child/ren to cross the road if you are parked on the other side of Water Street. This is dangerous for your child/ren and other drivers.
Please escort your child/ren safely across the road via the pedestrian crossing.
Be especially vigilant and urge your child/ren to use safe practices in Wet Weather.

Playground Rules while waiting for students

Please note that siblings of children not attending Prouille are not permitted to play in the playground whilst waiting for school to finish, or at any other time.

Attendances/Absences/Permission Notes

Regular attendance at school is essential for progress. Please notify the school on any day your child is absent, by phoning the School Secretary or providing a written explanation when the child returns to school. This ensures that Class Rolls (legal documents) are marked correctly.

Students arriving at school after 9.00 a.m. must report to the School Office and collect a Late Pass.

Permission from the Principal is necessary to remove children for any length of time (e.g. holidays).

Permission notes are required when a child leaves the school grounds with another adult (e.g. going home to a friend’s birthday party). If parents wish to collect their child/ren before 3.00 p.m., permission must be obtained from the Classroom Teacher or Principal. Children are to be collected from the School Office and parents/carers must complete a Sign-out form and the Early Leavers’ Register.

All notes from parents/carers are to be handed to the Classroom Teacher by students (not by parents). Notes should not be handed in at the School Office.

Late notes and notes for children leaving school early for special reasons should be given to the Classroom Teacher first thing in the morning, and will then be forwarded to the Principal.
